About ORSP

Happy 100th Anniversary, ORSP!

The origins of the Office of Research and Sponsored Projects officially began when the Regents of the University of Michigan formed a "Department of Engineering Research" on October 1, 1920. The events that led to this, and the resources from our own photo albums and archives, are captured in the timeline.

How We Can Help

The Office of Research and Sponsored Projects enables and safeguards the conduct of research and other sponsored activity for the University of Michigan. We apply specialized regulatory, statutory and organizational knowledge in a timely and professional manner in order to balance the university's mission, the sponsor's objectives, and the investigator's intellectual pursuits.
